Thread: Increase draw in strop

About 10 days ago he got fat for leather in the Strop and started to produce draw and the edge improved markedly.
Have I done the right thing?
Is there a way to increase draw?

?Are you saying that 10 days ago you conditioned (got fat for) your strop and for the first time experienced draw giving you a better edge?

?And now you want to know if you can create even more draw than you are getting now?

If your leather is now well oiled, an not to dry you will be getting all the draw that leather can give. Diff erent leathers or patterns on leather produces different amouts of draw. The good new is that greater draw does not mean a better stropping action, as long as your leather is in good condition, well oiled, you will get the edge improvment you want.

Some guys just prefer to feel the draw more than others so require strops that have a heavier draw.

Yes

The question is whether it is correct that fact or is there some other way.
My edge has improved much
